Columbus 1-5 Rademacher Title Fight Given Okeh Tacoma OPI The Washington State Athletic Commission de cided to stick by its guns and ruled officially Sunday that Champion Floyd Patterson could defend his heavyweight title in Seattle Aug. 22 against amateur king Pete Rademacher. The action gave promoter Jack Hurley the green light to stage the bOtit in Sicks stadium. How ever, Patterson must defeat chal lenger Hurricane Jackson in their scrap July 29 in New York to make the Seattle bout a title affair. The NBA had asked the Wash ington commissioners not to rec ognize the proposed Patterson Rademacher match, saying the NBA would not do so. Bu. Dr. Charles P. Larson, WAC chairman, said: "If Rade macher wins, we will recognize him as heavyweight champion of the world, regardless- of what the NBA says. Mrs. Pung Asks Tighter Rules New York HP) Mrs. Jackie Pung said today she will ask the United States Golf associa tion "to tighten its scoring rules for women" in order to avoid a repetition of the mix-up that cost her the U. S. Womens' Open golf championship. At the same time the Hawaiian-born housewife revealed sha already had received S2.520 in "consolation money" raised by well-wishers and said, "I'm fu ly recovered from that ordeal and have no hard feelings." Mrs. Pung was disqualified after apparently winning the Women's Open championship on Saturday when USGA officials discovered a mistake on her scorecard. Betty Jameson of San Antonio, Tex., Mrs. Pung's part ner, algp was disqualified for a similar mistake and Betsy Rajwl of Spartanburg, 9. C, .flS declared the winner.

Asher took second in the fourth and Pol lard third spot. schools technica' v were free to revise their fooiball schedules after the 1957 season Waldorf said he favored the osange in the code and that the aid problem could be worked out with the rest of the con ference. But he felt that chang ing schedules as early as 1953 would be "rather difficult.' "Most games arp lined up four to five years in advance and teams now are scheduling their intersectional games for 1962 1963," Waldorf said. "However, some modification might be made for schools opposed to the round-robin.

Home runs played big roles in both games. A smash by Soxer Ron Bowen on Saturday night deadlocked the play after Medford had been on top for seven innings. Bowen also hit for the circuit Sunday to ac count for three runs which put Drain ahead 8 to 7 in the top of the ninth inning. Ray Strat ton and Jerry Gregg homered for the Black Sox Sunday and Jack Cooney socked for the four base trip for the Studs. ' Owing!

Frank Roelandt was purposely walked to fill the sacks. Rector squared away for a bunt squeeze but the ball came high and inside. He jumped to get out of the way. and the ball hit him. There was some beef that Umpire Virg Swanson had first called a strike on Rec tor. But the hit batter ruling prevailed.. Medford ws in front 7 to 5 going into the ninth inning. Dan Luby singled as Drain started its battinf turn. Gregg's ground out advanced Luby. Stratton got a base on balls after Pitcher Jerry 'Droscher gave way on the hill to Duane Sides. Then Bowen pounded the ball over the left field wall. Koeianais single Rector's double then enabled the Cheney club to pull even and extend to another stanza. Kovenz Triple While Drain hit more homers, Medford had a good share of the extra base hits. Kovenz tripled to irive in two of Moaiford's three runs in the first inning. The Sox had jumped into the scoring column in their first time at bat on Stratton's two run circuit blast. Drain tied up the mix with a single run in the third inning and went on top 5 to 3 with Gregg's two tally roundtrip rap. The Studs got one run back in the sixth inning and went into the lead 6 to 5 when Cooney clubbed his homerun with Larry Perkins aboard in the seventh. An eighth inninf marker made it 7 to 5. Ron Owings hit three for five and Roelandt, Rector and Jerry Droscher two for four witn ow ings. Rector and Droscher slam ming doubles. Gregg with two for four was the only Sox player with more than one hit. Sides took the pitching vic tory for the Cheney crew.

(Army photo) Dmochowsky and was safe at first base. Cooney knocked a high deep fly to center field. It appeared that Outfielder Gregg would get I under it but he stumbled and fell, as he was reaching for the ball and Cooney was on for the second hit of the.frame. Kovenz next came through with his rousing clutch, blast to wrap up the tussle. Medford was able to get two of its hits in the first inning when Reinking poked an infield single and Owings doubled. Ow ings' drove in both runs, his rap coming after Cooney was safe on an error an Kovenz walked. Drain tallied in the third in ning when Dmochowsky got to first base on a miscue and made the rounds on successive singles by Luby and Stratton. Bowen hit the first pitch by Stud tosser Jerry Bartow in the eighth in ning. It was a mighty clout and the ball "disappeared" over the left field barrier for a solo homer. Fine Fielding The game was marked by some fine fielding and a leaping back hand stab by First Baseman Cooney and a double play set off by Second Baseman Perkins retired the side to "revent fur ther damage by Drain in the eighth inning.

Sugar Rated Underdog in Title Scrap New Yorky-flfi Odds-man Ed die Borden poday tabbed Car men Basilio the 13-10 favorite to beat Sugar Ray Robinson in September. Robinson, "36, will defend his middleweight title against wel terweight champion Basilio, 30, in a lo-round bout at a New York ball park. Promoter Jim Norris said it would be either at the Polo Grounds, Sept. 18 or 17, or a. Yankee Stadium, Sept. 23 or 24. The exact site and date will be decided soon. Norris, who closed the match Friday, believes that the federal court will permit his staging the fight because it was in the process of negotiation before last Monday's order by Judge Sylvester J. Ryan to break up the International Boxing Clulf monopoly. Norris finally granted Robin son his demand for 45 per cent of all net receipts from the (ate, theater-TV and movies. But to do that the promoter had to pare 5 per cent off the 25 for which Basilio already had signed.
